Re: Metering DLL's

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Geri,

The way Software Metering works does not allow for monitoring of .dlls.

A suggestion that you might be able to use is:

1. Create a script that runs every minute and checks if the .dll is loaded
(using say tlist.exe) - if the dll is found launch a EXE with specific name
else kill it
2. Create a monitoring rule for the .exe

Thanks
